Enter the password if prompted. The password will be the one set when the backup file was created.
Please wait as the saved settings are restored to the AirStation. When settings are restored, all values (e.g. IP address,
wireless encryption key, login, etc.) are changed to the ones saved in the backup file.
Note: The AirStation will not be able to restore settings if the backup file was created with a different version of the
AirStation firmware or a different product.

Replacing the AirStation

If an AirStation is no longer functional, you can replace it with another unit of the same model and use a saved backup
file to automatically populate settings on the new unit. The firmware on the new unit must be the same version as the
old unit when the backup file was created. If need be, downgrade the current firmware version to the previous one
before using the backup file.
